Every kid wants to be a drummer, and this is the coolest way ever to get started!

This is an excellent DVD to get your youngster (6-10 years old…mine is starting at 5) started on the drums. Do not go out and purchase an expensive drum set. Buy some sticks and a practice pad. The “Zuchini Brothers” have engaging and outgoing personalities that kids love. The lessos start very basic, and are best done with short segments, practice inbetween, and lots of rewards (kids love stickers). Keep a notebook with lots of praise. When your child completes the lessons, and has a real love for drums, it may be time to purchase that first piece, or junior set. Lots of silly faces, expressions, and laughter, all while a 3 piece talented band plays catchy tunes that kids love. “You are what you eat” and other such songs keep your child’s interest. A great job done by the producers.

I bought this for my nephew’s 3rd birthday and he has watched it about 100 times. Unfortunately he’s too young for private instruction, but he has always been obsessed with drums, and he’s got great timing so far!
